(Thank You, Doctor)

(Adapted from Sheng Li's novel "ICU 48 Hours")

(Episode 29)

Here, let me examine you.

Let me know if it hurts.

Doctor.

Is my condition not so good?

You just had surgery.

It will take some time for it to recover.

I wonder when Ding Xiao Ying can see things.

Don't worry.

My colleague will help her look for a cornea donor.

The police have also cleared you of suspicion.

I hope both of you can be discharged together.

Thank you.

Hui Zhen.

My dad woke up early this morning...

and made so much food.

It's all your favorite dishes.

But now that I'm discharged from the hospital,

your dad will rush us to have a baby again.

Hui Zhen.

You can't blame my dad.

Look.

We're almost 40 years old.

We don't even have a child.

It's normal for an old man like him to be worried.

- I'm not blaming him. I just... - Le Le!

Le Le!

Le Le, slow down!

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Okay.

Are you all right, Le Le?

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

Let's go.

Hui Zhen.

Hui Zhen.

What...

Hui Zhen.

The taxi driver is back.

As soon as she walked out of the hospital,

she was hit by a child and fainted.

By a child?

Ne Zha.

We did an electrocardiogram...

and there's no arrhythmia,

so our previous diagnosis was wrong.

It wasn't because of smart drugs.

Now that I think about it,

it should be...

a cerebral embolism caused by a blood clot...

in the patient's blood.

We did an arteriovenous ultrasound on her,

but there was nothing abnormal.

So we don't know why there's a clot in her blood.

Could it be a lack of protein C?

It doesn't match symptoms of abnormal seizures.

I remember now.

I heard about it from the patient's family.

A few months ago,

the patient has taken clomiphene continuously.

To induce ovulation to get pregnant.

That's right.

Later, she felt uncomfortable and stopped.

Overdose of clomiphene...

does increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

Endometrial cancer can cause blood clots...

and that leads to a stroke.

I'll arrange a transvaginal ultrasound for her.

No thickening of the uterine lining.

I don't see any lumps either.

Does that mean she's fine?

Judging from the ultrasound, I don't see any signs of cancer.

I told you.

We can't be that unlucky.

Doctor.

What happened to me?

How about this?

Let's consult the gynecologist later...

and let them do an endometrial biopsy.

No abnormalities were found in the ultrasound.

Was it really necessary?

Is this your first day as a doctor?

Don't you know the sensitivity of ultrasound...

to tiny cancerous tissues?

- What I mean is... - Doctor.

We'll do it.

It's for peace of mind.

Scraping the lining of the uterus is very harmful to the body.

You must be mentally prepared.

Will it hurt a lot?

It won't hurt.

We'll use anesthesia.

You'll be fine.

I'm here.

Doctor.

We'll do it.

Dr. Xiao.

If my wife really has cancer,

how much longer can she live?

Don't worry.

There's a high chance of recovery...

in the early stage of endometrial cancer.

What's more, it's only suspicion.

We have to wait for the scraping results...

for more details.

Maybe that's not the case.

You're Ma Hui Zhen's guardian, right?

Yes, I'm her husband.

When I first diagnosed the patient, I didn't see anything abnormal.

But the ultrasound revealed that there was hypoechoic in the liver.

There's fluid leaking from the abdominal cavity.

What do you mean?

Right now, there's a shadow in the liver.

There's fluid leaking from the abdominal cavity.

We have to quickly figure out what this shadow is.

We will arrange an MRI of the abdomen for the patient.

I want to see her just once.

Just once.

You can't get out of bed yet.

Can't she see things at all?

She'll be able to see things when she finds the right cornea.

Is there anything you want to tell her?

We can convey it to her.

Forget it.

I won't bother her.

All right. You should get some rest.

Let's leave him alone.

I don't know if I should be touched or sad.

He must be happy to sacrifice willingly...

for the person he likes.

Look.

So the previous plan was wrong.

The problem is not in the uterus.

All the root causes are in the liver.

But I can't tell right now if it's benign or malignant.

Schedule for a biopsy.

But a liver tumor won't cause abnormal seizures.

There must be another reason.

A normal liver tumor doesn't cause abnormal seizures,

but she was on smart drugs and clomiphene.

Maybe when these two drugs are mixed together,

it'll have some side effects that we don't know about.

Maybe.

Doctors can't use that to diagnose.

Should we just let it be then?

How can that be?

All necessary treatments and examinations have to be done.

What if the tumor gets worse?

That's right.

Both of you can just proceed with the standard procedure.

Leave the difficult puzzle-solving work to me.

All right.

Let's see if you can solve it.

Just wait and see.

There's a tumor in her liver?

Is it benign or malignant?

We'll need to do more tests to find out.

A normal liver tumor doesn't cause abnormal seizures,

so Dr. Bai thinks that the patient may have other illnesses.

He did it to show off.

Dr. Bai is so capable.

He can only fool ignorant nurses like you.

I think the patient's current situation...

may have something to do with her pregnancy.

What does it have to do with pregnancy?

Didn't she take clomiphene for pregnancy?

Who knows if she has taken any other medications?

Nowadays, those fertility pills...

and birth control pills are all hormones.

If you overdose, you'll have a problem.

One shouldn't take estrogen as she likes.

What's wrong?

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

Let's eat.

Dr. Xiao.

I have something to tell you.

Never mind. I'm not sure if I should tell you.

Tell me when you're ready.

I'll just tell you.

Regarding the patient who had abnormal seizures,

she has been taking birth control pills.

Birth control pills?

Shouldn't she be taking fertility pills?

Fertility pills?

Her husband and father-in-law forced her to take it.

She didn't want to have a baby,

so she secretly took birth control pills.

I wonder if her abnormal seizures have something to do with this.

What kind of birth control pills was she on?

This patient didn't say.

She just said they were birth control pills.

Some of them do cause seizures.

Let's ask her about it.

Come on.

If it's because of your past...

that you don't want to get pregnant and don't want your family to know,

we understand that.

But for the sake of your health,

I need you to tell me...

which birth control pills you have taken.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Tang is just worried about your condition.

I've never taken birth control pills.

Your husband just went to pay the bill.

You can tell us.

He won't be back so soon.

If you don't want your family to know,

we can keep it a secret.

That's your right.

But right now, we need the information...

to diagnose your condition.

Yes, think about it.

You have a lump in your liver.

It could be a malignant tumor.

Don't try to scare me.

Taking birth control pills won't cause me to grow a tumor.

We're not trying to scare you.

Previous cases have shown...

that long-term use of certain types of contraceptives...

is likely to cause hepatocellular adenoma.

It also affects the dopamine system in the human body...

and cause abnormal seizures.

What you said is possible,

but you're not certain...

if it was caused by birth control pills.

It doesn't matter...

if the tumor is related to birth control pills or not...

or whether it's benign or malignant,

but we may need to remove part of your liver tissue.

You don't want to remove...

part of your liver tissue for nothing, right?

If my husband and my father-in-law...

know about me taking birth control pills,

I'll never be able to have a peaceful life.

Trust me this time.

Your secret is safe with us.

I've only taken...

two different kinds of birth control pills.

Doctor.

Can you recommend me a safer birth control pill?

You still want to take birth control pills?

Regardless of the results of this examination,

whether the tumor and seizures...

are related to birth control pills or not,

you can't take them anymore.

All those birth control pills out there have hormones.

You've been taking birth control pills?

Honey.

How long were you here?

Tell me!

Keep your voice down.

This is the EICU.

Honey.

- I'll tell you later. - Doctor.

Do you mean...

her illness is related to her taking birth control pills?

We need to do more tests to confirm this.

Okay.

I understand.

I...

I want to talk to my wife...

privately.

This is the ward.

The patient is still sick.

Watch what you say.

She can't get too worked up.

Okay.

I'll let you two talk.

Honey.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have kept it from you.

Do you not want to have a baby with me?

That's not true.

What are you doing?

- That's not it. - Do you despise me?

Do you despise me or this family?

What are you doing?

No, I'm scared.

You're scared?

Honey, come here.

I'll tell you everything.

Do you remember when we first met,

I told you...

that my dad passed away in an accident?

Do you?

Actually, I didn't tell you the truth.

My dad was sick.

He had hemophilia.

It's a hereditary disease.

It only occurs in boys.

Although I didn't get sick, I have this gene.

In the future,

if we have a son,

I can only watch him suffer.

I'll blame myself.

I really don't dare to have children.

I don't dare to.

Honey.

You have no idea.

When I think about my child being sick,

that scene...

It's like a nightmare. I don't want it.

I don't want it.

I know.

- All right, I know. - I don't want it.

- I don't want to be pregnant. - I know.

- I'm scared. - Okay, I know.

I got it.

- I got you. - I'm scared.

I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

Could it be an organic brain lesion?

We have done a CT scan and MRI.

No organic lesions.

He always wants to show off.

But at a critical moment,

one still has to rely on his skills.

What are you talking about?

Dr. Xiao has basically found out the cause of that seizure patient.

She's much better than some braggart.

What's the cause?

She secretly took birth control pills.

Tang Hua.

We promised the patient.

But her family already knows about it.

There's no need to hide it.

Birth control pills?

Aren't they fertility pills?

She has a knot in her heart.

She doesn't want to have children,

so she took them without telling her family.

Long-term use of certain types of birth control pills...

can indeed induce tumors and seizures.

However, for the confirmed diagnosis,

we have to wait for more test results.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Let's wait for the result.

It sounds like he's angry.

Dr. Xu.

This is your patient. I'll leave it to you.

Okay.

Hui Zhen.

About your dad,

why didn't you tell us earlier?

It's my fault.

I know you and your dad want to have kids so badly.

If I tell you I don't want kids,

I know you won't agree.

I really want a child.

My dad wants it even more.

However, you should tell us about it...

so that we can solve this matter together.

How to solve it?

You can't solve it.

Just let it be then.

Both of us...

have been childless for so many years.

Aren't we doing fine?

Your dad won't agree to it.

It's fine.

I'll talk to him.

Maybe after some time,

he'll give up on the thought.

Are you really okay...

with not having kids?

It's hard.

However,

I'm willing to try it for you.

It's okay.

Get well first.

It's all right.

Come on. Don't cry.

It's all right.

Son.

Why are you sitting here?

I need some fresh air.

Fresh air for what?

Let's go in.

Leave me alone here.

I want to sit here for a while.

All right then.

I'll sit here with you for a while.

Son.

Her tumor is definitely not malignant.

Don't think too much.

Do you remember Mrs. Li,

the one who stayed next door?

There's a tumor on her liver.

It was removed later on.

It has been so many years now...

and nothing happened.

I hope...

when Hui Zhen gets better,

she can give birth to a baby.

Dad.

If Hui Zhen's tumor is malignant...

and she won't be able to have children anymore,

are you not going to accept her as your daughter-in-law?

Don't say such inauspicious things.

How can it be malignant?

I mean...

I'm just saying if.

It's just a tumor.

We can just remove it.

Where are there so many ifs?

At the very least,

if it's really a malignant one,

she won't be able to have kids.

We'll do what we have to do.

Huizhen has done her best...

for both you and me all these years.

I'm getting old.

I do want to have a grandchild.

However, I'm not a heartless person.

What could be more important than her life?

I've thought it through.

I should let my children have their own happiness.

As for having children or not,

I'll let you decide for yourselves.

From now on,

I won't urge you to have children anymore.

Dad.

Let's go see Hui Zhen.

- Let's go. - Let's go, Dad.

Here, let me hold it for you.

Be careful, Dad.

Dr. Xu.

Are my wife's test results out?

The results of the liver MRI...

showed that the cyst ruptured and hemorrhaged.

- How bad is it? - The cyst is benign.

It can be treated with surgery.

Dad.

Help me take care of Hui Zhen.

I have some questions about the surgery.

Okay.

Dr. Xu.

Is the cyst caused by taking birth control pills?

It's possible.

I didn't tell my dad...

about Huizhen taking birth control pills,

- so... - Don't worry.

We won't tell anyone.

Thank you.

Please sign the consent form as soon as possible...

so that we can schedule the surgery.

Okay.

Xu Yi Ran.

Has the patient with abnormal seizures...

been diagnosed?

It was caused by birth control pills, right?

Didn't I just tell you?

What's wrong with your memory?

The divine doctor is already having a hard time.

You don't have to be so mean.

What do you mean?

It's just a line.

What an old man.

Why does the coffee taste so bad?

Did you buy the beans?

Someone is in a bad mood.

Even the coffee tastes bad.

Who is to blame for not being capable?

See? You pissed him off again.

It serves him right.

(Tongshan Hospital)

Dr. Xiao.

This is the medication record for Bed Number 2.

What's going on?

I just changed his dressing and he suddenly had a stomachache.

Where does it hurt?

I haven't pooped in days.

My stomach hurts a lot.

Move your hand.

Do a follow-up CT scan of his abdomen.

- Yi Ran. - Dr. Lu.

Where are Xiao Yan and Bai Zhu?

They went to check on a patient.

Both of them?

The patient's condition is quite urgent.

If there's nothing else, I'll get going.

Go ahead.

Mesenteric hematoma.

The intestinal tract is dilated.

There's fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Doctor.

What's happening to me?

Could there be progressive bleeding in the abdominal cavity?

It's possible.

But the patient has a history of atrial fibrillation.

We need to rule out mesenteric artery embolism.

Do a follow-up CT scan.

Okay.

Dr. Bai, you're right.

It's a mesenteric artery embolism.

In this case, simple pain relief and rehydration...

won't solve the problem.

Lin Zhi.

Contact the Gastroenterology Department for another surgery.

Okay.

Hello, I'll take your temperature.

The patient's mesenteric bleeding and hematoma were too extensive...

during the surgery.

We couldn't resolve it completely during the surgery.

The most obvious part of the intestinal segment was removed,

but there was necrosis.

The removed intestines are all black.

I'll leave her to you.

Thank you.

Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan.

How's her condition?

She's still unconscious.

Her blood sugar level is below 2.8.

She's exhausted after working several night shifts in a row.

That's why she has low blood sugar.

I just injected her with glucose.

Let me do it.

Okay, take good care of her.

Call everyone if you need anything.

Get back to work.

Tang Hua.

Let's go.

Dr. Xiao, you're awake.

You are so tired that you have low blood sugar.

We just injected you with glucose.

Are you feeling better now?

I'm fine.

Get back to work.

Have a good rest then.

(Whose pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?)

I knew you'd be here.

Well, you read my mind.

Have you ever seen such a handsome mind reader?

A hospital in the dead of night.

A sad and lonely man.

It's a perfect match.

You won't throw yourself at your first love.

What are you doing here?

Stop mentioning my first love.

She's already married with a child.

I can tell.

Your words are full of bitterness.

Stop teasing me.

Come on, have a meal with me.

I'm not hungry.

I'm not hungry either.

I want to stimulate myself through food.

To release some dopamine and to cheer up my wounded heart.

Why don't you go alone?

No. I'm taking you with me.

Xu Yi Ran, I don't want to go.

- You're alone anyway. - Let go of me.

I just checked his blood pressure.

He's all right,

but his temperature is still a bit high.

Okay.

- Son. - Dad, you're here.

Yes.

She's awake.

Hui Zhen is awake.

Good job, Hui Zhen.

You heard the doctor.

This cyst is caused by birth control pills.

Don't take them again.

What are you whispering about?

Dad.

I told Hui Zhen...

that you're so happy when you see that she's fine.

Stop making up stories about me.

I'm praising you, aren't I?

My dad won't force you to have children.

I made porridge for you.

Longan and lotus seed.

It means having a baby soon.

Me and my big mouth.

I take it back.

Longan and lotus seed nourish yin and vitality.

This is for you.

Have some.

Dad, the doctor said she just had surgery.

She can't eat yet.

Father.

Give that lady a bowl.

That lady?

Don't worry.

You'll surely find a suitable cornea.

Doctor.

Is there no cure for my illness?

Don't think too much.

I understand.

How much time do I have left?

It can also be treated by rehydration, hemodialysis,

and other methods.

Don't worry.

We'll do our best to cure you.

Thank you, doctor.

How's Ding Xiao Ying?

We haven't found a suitable cornea yet.

How was your day?

It was okay.

You ate half a bowl more than yesterday.

It's good that you ate more.

You haven't found a suitable cornea yet, right?

We're still looking.

But we'll find one.

Look at the patient in the bed next to yours.

She has got such a strange disease, yet she's all better now.

I even saw her husband...

take her sunbathing in the yard just now.

You can do it.

I'm just not used to not seeing the sunlight.

In the past,

I loved sitting in front of the window to see the sunlight.

Right.

Did the police arrest that pervert?

There's no more victim, right?

The police already caught the criminal.

However,

he's not the one who admitted at the same time as you.

That patient is a good person.

He did it to catch the criminal.

To catch the criminal?

He did what was right.

The police even praised him later.

Then...

Is he all right?

That day, I saw that he was badly injured.

He's fine.

It's just some bruises and scratches.

He'll be fine soon.

That's good.

I misunderstood him.

I even got the police to arrest him.

I really want to apologize to him.

He has been discharged,

but we'll tell him on your behalf.

Thank you.

I hope I didn't cause him any trouble.

Doctor.

I'm donating my cornea to her,

so she can...

see the world with me.

Please.

I'm sorry to tell you this.

According to the rules of corneal donation,

there can't be a designated direction...

for corneal donation.

Both the donor and the recipient...

must go through a series of complete procedures.

However,

if you really want to donate your cornea...

to anyone you don't know...

so that he can see things again,

I can contact the relevant department for you.

I do.

I believe Ding Xiao Ying...

will find a kindhearted person...

like me.

Have some water.

I think I can see the light.

Take your time.

You'll feel better soon.

She's lucky.

She got a suitable cornea so quickly.

The surgery was a success.

Yes.

But Luo Guang Liang wasn't so lucky.

During the surgery,

we found that the mesenteric membrane has multiple bleeding.

It caused peritonitis and intestinal necrosis.

After that, sepsis occurred...

and it caused multiple organ failures.

In this case,

the mortality rate is very high.

It's a pity that he dies so young.

Tell me.

Did Luo Guang Liang's cornea...

happen to be transplanted to Ding Xiao Ying?

While she's watching the world,

it's going to be a bit different.

The cornea application and donation are complicated procedures.

They can't be a match that quickly.

You're a doctor,

yet you said such unprofessional things.

Do you think you're in an idol drama?

Are there so many coincidences?

You're the rational one.

You like Xiao Yan, but you don't dare to confess.

Look at Luo Guang Liang.

He likes Ding Xiao Ying and he didn't say it until the end.

He'll regret it for the rest of his life.

You said it yourself. Life isn't an idol drama.

Can you stop making things so melodramatic?

Can't you just say it?

If you like her, just tell her.

Why are you looking at me?

Tell her.

Dr. Bai.

How are you feeling?

What time is your shift today?

I want to find a quiet place to talk to you about something.

Sure.

I happen to know a place.

I'll take you there.

What do you think?

The scenery is nice, isn't it?

You asked me out alone.

You must have something very important to tell me.

Do you like me?

I do like you.

Dr. Bai.

I think you're already affecting my normal life.

Maybe you enjoy being talked about by others,

but I don't.

I can't stand being the center of attention.

If I did something that made you misunderstand,

I apologize.

But you and I...

We're just colleagues.

I want to know why you rejected me.

There's something I can't let go of in my heart.

I...

I can't accept anyone else.

Anyone.

I won't ask you what's in your heart.

That's your secret.

However,

I'm sure you'll tell me one day.

I'm a cardiac surgeon at Tangshan Hospital after all.

I don't believe I can't open your heart.

I...

I just recovered.

I'm going home to rest.

I'll get going.

Catherine.

If I go back to Switzerland,

can I still work at the hospital?

Shirley, is that true?

Yes.

That's really great news.

We were all so sad when you quit.

I'll talk to the hospital tomorrow.

Wait for my message.

Thank you, Catherine.

Okay, your temperature is 36.8.

It's normal.

Your blood pressure is good too.

Thank you, Dr. Jiang.

I'm Ms. Jiang, a nurse.

It's the same thing.

Both doctors and nurses save lives.

What's wrong with her?

Dr. Bai,

Mrs. Zhang has chronic heart failure.

She's here for a furosemide injection.

Dr. Jiang is very attentive.

Ma'am. Do you have a weak heart?

It's chronic heart failure.

Let me listen to your heart sounds.

Let Dr. Bai examine you.

- Come on. - Okay.

Slowly.

Dr. Xiao. You're back.

How are you doing?

I'm fine now.
